Lu Bu defeated Cao Cao twice, and then he rode alone against Cao Cao's 20,000-strong army and defeated him. The news soon spread in all directions. Some people who heard it were shocked, some disdainful, and some did not believe it.
In the past, everyone who had seen Lu Bu's brave warriors at Hulao Pass lamented that Lu Bu was more powerful. No matter how many people looked down on Lu Bu, they had to pay attention to this sudden rise at this time.
And as the news continued to spread, some people also had some thoughts, and those who had such thoughts were, without exception, almost all warriors.
When Yuan Shu received Ji Ling's letter and looked at the words in the letter, Yuan Shu's first thought was that Ji Ling was lying. How could he break through Cao Cao's 20,000-strong army alone? Is this something a human being can do? If that were the case, wouldn't they be killed in Hulao Pass without leaving any trace of their armor?
"This Ji Ling actually dared to lie to me!"
Yuan Shu immediately called people to discuss what to do next. During this time, Yuan Shu also figured out that Ji Ling would definitely not lie to him, but Yuan Shu still felt it was ridiculous.
After a while, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others arrived one after another, and Yuan Shu told everyone what Ji Ling's letter said.
"Tell me, what should we do next? I feel uneasy if I don't take the land of Xuzhou. Besides, although Lu Bu has some military power, do you think it is possible to defeat Cao Cao's 20,000 troops by himself?
Cao Cao suffered a defeat, but he spread rumors to the outside world like this. It is simply unbearable. You all have to say whether you want to continue fighting in Xuzhou. "
After Yuan Shu finished speaking, Yang Hong spoke first, because he did not think deeply about the matter, but saw that Yuan Shu was very interested in continuing to attack Xuzhou. As Yuan Shu's number one loyal minister, he must firmly follow his lord's footsteps.
"My lord, I think this must be Cao Cao's excuse for his defeat. Now that Liu Bei is no longer willing to continue the war, our army has lost a big enemy, and Lu Bu has just entered Xuzhou.
Now is a good opportunity to attack Xuzhou. How can we stop? I think we should continue to send troops! "
After Yang Hong finished speaking, Yuan Shu's face almost burst into laughter. Yang Hong's words were so in line with his wishes.
At this time, Yan Xiang also came to his senses and spoke immediately.
"My lord, I believe that we must pay attention to Lu Bu. I have known Cao Cao before, and I will definitely not find such an excuse. He must have been defeated by Lu Bu, and we all know the strength of Cao Cao's army. This is It is enough to show how powerful Lu Bu is.
Now the lord can win over Lu Bu. We will not attack Xuzhou, but directly attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou. Cao Cao's army was defeated by Lu Bu in two battles. He lost his troops and generals, and his strength was greatly reduced. Now is the time to send troops to Yanzhou. Cao Cao absolutely cannot stop him.
At the same time, he can contact Gongsun Zan and attack Cao Cao from Qingzhou. The land of Yanzhou will definitely belong to the lord.
As for Xuzhou, after Yanzhou is captured, Lu Bu can be dealt with. By then, the land of Yanzhou and Xuzhou can be captured, and then the troops can be sent to Jizhou to directly capture Yuan Shao. "
Yuan Shu listened to Yan Xiang's words, and his heart moved even more, mainly because of Yan Xiang's last sentence, which was to send troops to Jizhou and take Yuan Shao directly. Yuan Shu's heart was moved.
Listening to Yan Xiang's words, the man on the side suddenly panicked. He knew Yuan Shu's character well. Now that Yan Xiang said this, Yuan Shu would definitely be moved.
Then Yang Hong quickly spoke up.
"My lord, what Yan Xiang said is wrong. Now that Gongsun Zan cannot protect himself, how can he come to support Cao Cao? And if we directly send troops to Yanzhou, what if Yuan Shao abandons Gongsun Zan and goes straight to our army?
Moreover, Yanzhou is currently suffering from a serious disaster. If we capture Yanzhou, not only will it not be helpful, but it will also be a drag on us.
At the same time, Lu Bu in Xuzhou, with a wise man like Chen Gong under his command, how could he not understand the meaning of death and coldness? What if he also sends troops to us?
On the other hand, by capturing Xuzhou, Cao Cao's strength will be greatly damaged, so he will definitely not participate in this war, and Liu Bei will definitely not help Lu Bu. We can even persuade Liu Bei to send troops to Xuzhou together, and Yuan Shao will not be able to care about Lu Bu's life and death.
In addition, Xuzhou is rich, rich in money and food. After capturing it, it can greatly make up for the losses of our troops. After capturing Xuzhou, we will attack Yanzhou again. Cao Cao's strength has also not been restored, and it will be easy to capture Yanzhou.
Even if Yanzhou is not attacked, Yuan Shao can be sent directly through Qingzhou. This is more secure, so why not do it.
Please, my lord, think twice. "
After Yang Hong finished speaking, Yan Xiang took a high look. Although Yang Hong would try his best to refute whatever he proposed, this time, he also felt that Yang Hong was right. Yan Xiang raised the corner of his mouth and spoke immediately.
"Lord, I agree with Yang Changshi's words."
Yang Hong was stunned after hearing this, secretly thinking that he had fallen into Yan Xiang's scheme. However, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could no longer change it.
Yuan Shu later adopted Yang Hong's advice and joined forces with Liu Bei to send troops to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu, who was in Xuzhou, had no intention of knowing this at this time. At this time, he was busy in the fields every day. When he had some free time, he picked up the book and started reading. After two days of hard work, his reading value increased again. It broke through one hundred points and reached one hundred and three points.
At this time, Lu Bu was really hesitating, whether to save it and repay it first, or use it for lottery first. If the debt is not repaid for a day, Lu Bu will feel uneasy. After all, the interest is so high that it will be over in three months. Have to face human destruction.
And now he feels that he lacks a lot of things, and he hopes to get some good things through the lottery, which makes him fall into a choice.
However, before he could think about it, Liu Bei's reply to him was in Lu Bu's hands, and Lu Bu had no intention of thinking about these things anymore.
"My lord, Liu Xuande's reply has arrived."
Lu Bu took Liu Bei's reply from Chen Gong's hand, opened it quickly and excitedly and read it. However, the more he read, the colder he felt in his heart. Until he finished reading, Lu Bu felt a little sluggish.
What did he see? Liu Bei actually told him not to tempt him anymore and that he would not come to fight with him. He wrote a letter with sincere words, calling him brother one by one, and finally asked him to send Mi Zhen and others over.
Lu Bu was already numb. He wanted to tell Liu Bei that he really wanted to seek refuge and had no intention of testing him. Why didn't Liu Bei understand? !
In the past, Liu Bei would be so happy when someone took refuge in him. Now that he has taken refuge in him, why doesn't Liu Bei accept it?
Lu Bu couldn't figure it out, but he knew that now that the matter had come to an end, he had gone to Liu Lu. Among the three people who had the last laugh in this era, two of them were directly offended by him, and they were still the two with the highest achievements.
After being offended, Lu Bu suddenly discovered that he, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei were in a fight to the death. The two of them probably wanted to cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.
Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt numb.
